What's up is that soft/blurred reflections are missing in Poser. That's the look characteristic of the unbiased renderers that people notice is lacking Poser. The other aspect is how easily the many unbiased renderers correctly produce the Fresnel effect, whereas in Poser you have to at least build the Schlick approximation yourself and that's 4-5 nodes more you have to work into a shader. Most users can't/won't do it. When they render with, for example, LuxRender, they marvel at the realism of the surfaces. It's just those two things.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
